Gatech College of Computing Program Study

[w_guy]

Can someone please help me understand what this really means.


Project option

This option requires the student to complete 27 hours of course work and a 9-hour project. The project requires approval by a faculty advisor and the M.S. coordinator in the semester prior to its inception.
Total Course Credit Hours 36
MS Project Hours 9
CS Credit Hours 24*
CS Credit Hours (6000/8000 Level) 18*

This is what i get from it.

1) If i take project option then i do 9 hours of Project + 27 hours of course work

2) now the 27 hours of course work from the above description dont add up at all.
-it says CS Credit hours is 24---------(a)
-CS credit hours of 6000/8000 is 18. ------(b)

24+9=33 ( i am missing 3 credits here??)

does this mean that (a) includes (b) as well i.e. from 24 credit hours 18 must be from the 6000/8000 level. If yes, then I am still missing the 3 credit hours of the 27 course credit hours.

Just based on what you copied from GA Tech, my guess is:

27 course credits (This includes 24 credits that must be CS courses, 18 of which are 6000/8000 level.)

I'm sure about the 9 thesis credits. (27+9 = 36)
